The Packers put up a better fight than their three previous efforts against the 49ers, but the result is the same: a second straight season in which the first and the last game resulted in losses to San Francisco. The critical play on the 49ers’ final drive came when Kaepernick escaped the rush on a 3rd and 8 from the Packers’ 38 to get an 11-yard run to pick up a crucial first down.

Phil Dawson hit a 33-yard field goal to win it. Hochuli called it a touchdown at first because his brain froze but eventually got it right. As soon as the kick was good, Frank Gore sprinted to the locker room and who could blame him?

More warmer environs next week for the Niners in Carolina. They should be warmed by the white-hot hate from white sportswriters reacting to a Kaepernick/Cam Newton showdown in the playoffs.

As a Raiders fan, I take offense to us being described as “insufferable.” Unhinged? Sure. Criminal? Arguably. Insufferable? I thought your franchise had to have some degree of success before you became insufferable.

Philly fans are violent assholes, but there’s a special kind of delusion that takes Packer fans. As proof, walk into a bar in Wisconsin and say that Clay Matthews isn’t the best defensive player in the league or that Eddie Lacy isn’t the best rookie in the league.

Not bad. Got the car washed, went grocery shopping for the week, cleaned and mopped the upstairs bathroom, got a chance to play 9 holes, cooked Sunday dinner for the family, watched 3 more episodes of Breaking Bad, and I went 4 for 4 on my wild card weekend picks. And you?

I never realized how many Packers haters there were among the kommentariat until I read through this thread. As soon as I’m done crying and working my way through this eight pound block of cheese I’m gonna come up with something clever to say.
